TELL THE U.S. HOUSE: Speaker Johnson has come up with weeks of bogus excuses to delay swearing
Democrat Adelita Grijalva into Congress. Grijalva pledged to force a vote
on releasing the Epstein files. Instead of seating Grijalva like he did
for Republicans who won special elections, Johnson is scrambling and
Arizona is suing the U.S. House. Sign the petition: End the Trump-Johnson cover-up — force a vote on releasing the Epstein
files!

Speaker Johnson won’t swear-in newly elected Democrat Adelita Grijalva,
who would be the majority-clinching 218th signature to finally force a
vote on releasing the Epstein files.^1 And Arizona officially filed a
lawsuit against the U.S. House over Johnson’s refusal to seat the
representative for AZ’s 7th Congressional District.^2
Johnson knows that a vote to force the release of government information
about the crimes and accomplices of convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey
Epstein could do major damage to Trump and his powerful friends.
Johnson didn’t delay when two Republicans won their special elections
earlier this year — swearing them in the very next day.^3 Grijalva, the
residents and voters of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District, and all
those who care about democracy are demanding that Johnson seat Grijalva.
Our lawmakers in the House must pressure Johnson to seat Grijalva, force a
vote, and push for the release of the Epstein files!

It has been almost one whole month that Johnson has denied representation
to the people of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. Trump and Johnson
have delayed a fair vote on releasing the Epstein files for months, even
as survivors of Epstein’s crimes have called for the release of the
information so they can heal and hold those involved accountable.
Grijlava said recently, “I remember on election night, someone came up to
me and said, 'I don't think they're going to swear you in because of those
Epstein files.'”^4
We must ensure our lawmakers hold Johnson and Trump accountable to the
public — they must swear-in Grijalva now and force a vote on releasing the
Epstein files!
